Squawk Box March 18

Source: saunderslog.com

A lively and interactive Squawk Box from San Jose California today!

We discussed Lifestream Aggregators — FriendFeed, Twitter, Plaxo Pulse and so on.  There were a few people who shared their experiences, good and bad. 

We also discussed Broadsoft’s new eXtended — a platform play to compete with Ribbit in the web telephony mashup space.

And lastly, we debated whether native applications are really needed on mobile devices.  Was all the ballyhoo around Apple’s SDK warranted?
